Homeschool interest surges after shooting

(FOX5SANDIEGO) — A San Diego online homeschool academy reported a surge Thursday in calls after the mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school.

Director of Rainbow Advanced Institute Dr. Jarom Ludpke said in addition to the recent interest, their enrollment has increased by over 100 percent in the past 5 years.

“On our normal day, we usually get about two to three calls a day,” said Dr. Jarom Ludpke. “Now those calls have doubled, it’s more like five to seven calls a day.”
